President Donald Trump on Sunday issued a brand-new warning to Iran after the Islamic Republic reportedly fired upon a tanker Saturday in the Strait of Hormuz.
“Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz – A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement!” Trump exclaimed in a lengthy post on Truth Social. “Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn’t nice, was it?
“My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan – They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations. Iran recently announced that they were closing the Strait, which is strange, because our BLOCKADE has already closed it.
UPDATE: After traffic ticked up in the Strait, Iran reportedly FIRED UPON a tanker trying to traverse the Strait of Hormuz, sparking chaos
Two IRGC GUNBOATS reportedly attacked, but the crew and tanker are “safe”
Iran is on THIN ICE with Trump right now!

“They’re helping us without knowing, and they are the ones that lose with the closed passage, $500 Million Dollars a day! The United States loses nothing. In fact, many Ships are headed, right now, to the U.S., Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to load up, compliments of the IRGC, always wanting to be ‘the tough guy!’
“We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran.
“NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy and, if they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years. IT’S TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END!”
